I noticed on another thread a new player talking about how they had already got their collection up to around 50 models. So as another new player I did a quick count of mine. I'm also up to around 50 and whilst I have a couple of Red Eagle models most are official Wings of War or Wings of Glory. I can tell this is becoming an addiction! I know that number is dwarfed by some peoples collections. So my first question is in terms of official Wings of War/Wings of Glory issue planes what is the maximum number? And secondly how many people have a complete collection of all these? That will give me an idea of how far I have to go!
I'm talking about official unique Wings of War/Glory aircraft/pilots so discounting duplicate versions of the same plane/pilot which might have multiple slightly different paint jobs (eg: in other words only 1 MvR Red Triplane). Also not counting any upcoming Series 1 reprint planes.
My possible maximum calculation is:
9 series of Wings of Glory planes at 4 planes and 3 versions of those planes so 9x4x3 =108
4 planes from the Wings of Glory Duel Packs = 4
Giants (2 Gothas, 2 Handley Pages, 2 Zeppelin Staakems, 2 Capronis) = 8
2 Balloon Busting Nieuport 16s = 2
Series 1 Wings of War (Baracca, Fonck, Olieslagers, Weber, Jentsch , Kempf
and Rahn - others already included under Wings of Glory Series 1A) = 7
Series 2 Wings of War (Schafer, Udet, Baker, Ryrie, Seibert/Pfleger and
Luftstreitkrafte Roland, Cadbury/Leckie & Atkey) = 8
Series 3 Wings of War (Lufbery/Theinault, Kibanov, Brumowski, Hautzmayer,
Voss + 3 UFAGs + 3 RE8s) = 11
Series 4 Wings of War (3 each of SE5as, Pfalzs, Rumplers and Breguets) = 12
So by my calculations that makes a round 160 possible models. Let me know if I've missed any out!
